Pros

- Working with some of the smartest people as well as fun people - Interesting technical problems to solve

Cons

- The leadership is not competent, in-decisive and chaotic which has not been helping the implement efficiently - Higher level management are also not competent to build a functional organization, almost in all departments. Things are very slow except the engineering works. - The organization is very organized _ the company lacks vision, they don't know what they want to do, a lot of alignment and the leaders won't take responsibility for their failures and instead they put the blame on the other factors. - Lay-offs are common

Pros

They feed you but it’s gets old really quick.

Cons

So this company has been in a death spiral for the last couple years. Constantly overworking the team till the point of failure upper management has no clue how to track work progress. Unrealistic deadlines, Bitter engineers, lack of process development and technical writers.
